Planned Parenthood Federation of America, commonly referred to as Planned Parenthood, is a non-profit organization that provides reproductive health services in the United States. It was founded in 1916 by Margaret Sanger and has since become a prominent advocate for reproductive rights and sexual health education. Planned Parenthood's headquarters is located in New York City, New York.

It serves as the central coordination and administrative hub for the organization's activities across the country. The organization offers a wide range of products and services to support women's health and family planning. These include contraception methods, such as birth control pills, IUDs, and implants, as well as emergency contraception.

Planned Parenthood also provides testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pregnancy testing, prenatal care, abortion services, and general healthcare services like cancer screenings and vaccinations. While Planned Parenthood primarily operates within the United States, it does have a global presence through its international arm, Planned Parenthood Global. This division works to improve access to sexual and reproductive healthcare worldwide through partnerships with local organizations and advocates for policy changes to support reproductive rights.

Planned Parenthood operates numerous local health centers throughout the United States, providing accessible care to millions of individuals each year. These centers are staffed by healthcare professionals who prioritize offering compassionate and non-judgmental care. In terms of market position and sales, Planned Parenthood is one of the largest and most well-known reproductive healthcare organizations in the United States.

It is recognized as a leading provider of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services. However, competition in the field exists from both non-profit and for-profit organizations, including community health clinics and private healthcare providers. Noteworthy achievements for Planned Parenthood include its successful advocacy efforts to protect and expand access to reproductive healthcare, such as landmark Supreme Court cases like Roe v.

Wade. The organization has also faced significant political scrutiny and funding challenges over the years due to its involvement in abortion services and being a target of conservative opposition. As of the latest updates, Planned Parenthood continues to function as an essential healthcare provider despite ongoing political debates surrounding its funding and access to services.

The organization remains committed to its mission of promoting sexual and reproductive health and providing healthcare services to individuals across the United States
